hey guys

looking at getting a plenum for my rb25 there are alot of cheap chinese manifolds that need alot of cleaning up (porting) and dont flow that well. does anybody know of any plenums available with good flow short runners and preferably fabricated alloy plenum chamber something like hypertune.

well its depends on your setup, cams, turbo application and of course budget, the greddy one works well and i have never had an issue with one, the hypertune stuff is killer but more expensive and would suit somehting more radical. The cheap thai stuff on ebay seems to work real weel on RB20 but im yet to use one on a rb25.

i get these ones : http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/pnt_performance

the other ebay ones (Greddy Copies) ive used are shit, i will NOT fit them regardless... ive seen quite a few leak coolant into Number 1 runner and various others crack after a few months (dont ask me how in the world they could make it so crap that it cracks but they did)

i buy heaps of those ebay plenums made in thailand but i only buy the plenum half

i sent them an email asking if they would sell me the plenum half on its own and they agreed the reason why i dont use there whole plenum is because i dont like there runners and trumpets, i dont like the shape of the trumpets and i dont like the ruff casting of the trumpets so i only buy there plenum half on its own and use my own custom runners/trumpets

the plenum half is unreal! its casted, nice looking shape, good size and its very very thick and they also sell the plenum half on its own for a pretty good price

tuff maybe you can supply me one of your "modded" versions next time to have a play with? i would rather pay some-one local (and a community memmber) than send the coin offshore ? providing of course they are indeed superior in the runner department.

thats the kind of info thatim interested in thanks for the info ill see whati can get my hands on as far as runner

if any body else has helpfull info it is greatly appreciated

thanks

plazmaman use factory runners which are fairly long aswell i was trying to steer cleer of the long ugly runners

thanks guys im thinking jun copy plenum chamber and custom runners might be the trick

ill let you all know how well it works (before and after dyno results)

thanks

keeps ideas coming if you have any others

I got a plazmaman one and no comlaints here, but yeah the factory runners look like dick. Thinking if i take the head off to clean out the casting marks on the inside of them and then getting the outside chrome dipped to match the plenum :D

  • Like 1

to be perfectley honest the best upgrade ive done on RB25 is std RB26 individual TB's and plenum. on a std GTT (neo) expect a maximum increase of 40hp and no dips below the factory torque or power curve. The response of the ITB's is awesome and the flow of the factory GTR is great (nismo is better all round) but expect to pay similar money for the comlete setup when comparing it to a greddy setup with Q45 tb etc etc... I know RACE PACE now has the (BEST) conversion kit available for this swap, it is based on the BLITZ D1GP kit.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
